Title: Improvements in Hydraulic Motors.
Inventor: HELE-SHAW HENRY SELBY
IPC: F03C1/047
Filed: 1912-06-15
Granted: 1913-07-15
Abstract: 13,993. Shaw, H. S. Hele-, Martineau, F. L., and Beacham, T. E. June 15. Liquid - pressure engines. - Relates to hydraulic motors of the radial - cylinder type described in Specification 12,943/10, in which the pistons co - operate with a cam or cam-path formed according to a formula given in Specification 336/12. Special forms of machines are illustrated in Figs. 1, 3, and 7, and devices are provided, as illustrated in Figs. 8 and 9, for bypassing certain of the cylinders in a motor. In the machine illustrated in Fig. 1, the distributing-valve 4 is coned at one end and the cylinder body 11 rotates upon it. Ports 7 in the member 5 lead to ports 8 which are in communication w i t h ports 10. Slots 20 in the cylinder walls allow the longitudinal movement of, and serve to guide, the pistons 16. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the cylinder body is held stationary and the valve 26 is secured to the revolving cam-track. The liquid is led through passages in the member 23 to annular passages 38, 39, whence it is led to ports 41, 43. Leakage is carried away through the passage 46 and a pipe connected at 47. The motor-wheel shown in Fig. 7 is provided with a stationary valve. The cylinder body 50 is held rigid with the stationary valve by dogs engaging corresponding dogs on the valve flange 51. A sleeve 57 for distributing the liquid is secured to the cam-plate 52 and in it the ports 59 communicate alternately with the suction and delivery grooves 54. Leakage is conveyed away by the pipe 59<a> and bores 60. For low pressure and high speeds, the ports opposite one half of the cam may be by-passed. The range of speed is thereby increased. Fig. 8 shows diagrammatically one method of by-passing. The pipe 61 branches at 62 to feed both pressure ports P, and one branch is provided with a valve 66. A non-return valve 67 allows the passage of fluid only from the suction pipe 64 to the pressure port P, which is at the time cut off in order to prevent undue suction in that cylinder. For reversible machines, the system shown in Fig. 9 is used. In this, one branch of each branched liquid pipe is provided with a valve 68. Each valve is provided with a straight-through port 69 and a port 70 leading to a non-return valve 72 permitting communication between the pressure and exhaust pipes.

Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 4615. Adair, M. Sept. 24. Hem - stitching machines; feed by dog; feed by presser-foot.- In a hemming-machine, means are provided for specially feeding or retarding the folded-over portion relatively to the body of the fabric in order to make the pattern on the folded-over portion match the pattern on the main portion. Several methods of carrying out the invention are described. The folded-over part, or the main part, may be advanced or retarded by a reciprocating finger. In the form shown in Fig. 1, this finger 1<b> is mounted on a bar 3 which is rocked about a vertical pivot 4 by a cam 7 which acts on an adjustablefinger5<a>. Arising and falling movement is imparted by a flange 7<f> engaging a second finger 6<a>. The finger 1<b> is pivoted in the block 2 mounted on the bar 3, and may be thrown out of action by a cam 13<c> arranged to engage the upper end of the finger when the bar 13 is moved to the left. This bar is actuated by a finger-piece 11<a> connected to the bar 12. A lever 15 for raising the presser-foot is also actuated by the bar 12. The finger 1<b> may be replaced by a finger 20 arranged to advance or retard the main portion of the fabric, or by a similar device acting beneath the fabric. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the advancing or retarding device a is actuated by a flexible wire or the equivalent. The lever k pivoted at k<3> and connected to the end b<2> of the wire is actuated by a cam l on the feed-shaft m. The tubular casing d in which the finger a reciprocates is supported in a tube f, which may be oscillated by hand or automatically to lift the finger out of action. The casing d is also oscillated periodically by the lever k contacting with a pin p<1> on an arm p. The Bowden wire may be replaced by a hydraulic device or by balls in a tube. Fig. 6 shows a further modification in which the advancing or retarding blade v is carried by an arm x pivoted on a bracket on the presser - bar y. The arm is actuated by a roller z<1> on the needle-bar engaging an arm x<5> which contacts with an adjustable stop x<6> on the arm. A spring x<4> keeps the parts in contact. The underside of the blade v may be roughened. In all of these modifications, the blade or finger may be thrown out of action automatically by mechanical or electrical devices operating when the end of an edge is reached. Fig. 8 shows a further modification in which the presser-foot 22 is provided with prongs 23b carried on a pivoted arm 23 in such a manner that they allow the folded-over part to be fed in one direction, but not in the other, so that when the main part of the fabric is moved backwards during the hem-stitching, the folded edge is prevented from moving backwards.
